Giggs had supposedly considered retiring at the end of last season, but then Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson persuaded Giggs to play on for another year.<br />

"I'm delighted that Ryan has accepted the chance to become player-coach," said Moyes.<br />

The player, who turns 40 in November, was clearly delighted to have been named part of the team.<br />
